A PALMER hit list of what’s new, now, and next from around the globe—from our obsessive-at-large, Wynn Burson Cateron.
If you weren’t lucky enough to have snagged tickets to the nearly sold-out Gabrielle Chanel: Fashion Manifesto exhibit at the V&A in London, be sure to pick up a copy of Justine Picardie’s gorgeously illustrated, updated biography, Coco Chanel: The Legend And The Life, in which Picardie’s new reporting on the history of the mythic designer deepens our understanding of how Mademoiselle Chanel arrived at her legendary style–and came to be the mysterious, authoritative, and controversial presence so many never knew definitively, despite a legacy so beloved…from Dey St. Books, New Edition, $45. Gabrielle Chanel: Fashion Manifesto is at the V&A from September 16 to February 25, 2024.
